I've had bacterial infections that caused all these problems in the first place.
Then I had complications with my first child having to have her by way of a C Section. She graduated yesterday from the naval academy as 1st Luitenant. She didn't want me there. I was proud of her anyway. She is my baby girl. I love her.

Then I have had pneumonia several times.
I have had sooo much in my lifetime. But I am not to dwell on the past. I'm to put it behind me and keep moving forward with the future. That's what gets me through this.
That and what my father in law told me, kiss

keep it simple, sunshine!
I hope that this will be beneficial to someone else who like me was depressed most of the time but visiting with him a couple of times, you had to love him.
I hope this makes sense.

They discovered I also have congestive heart failure while hospitalized after a series of major seizures.
I've also anxiety attacks, which are one of my seizure triggers.
... Aging is great... you just have to adjust to the "new you".
I'm being tested for possible glaucoma next week. Hopefully I don't have that as well.
